In 2015, going to Europe and Japan were big steps for us... here's a very brief overview of our global excursion. THANK YOU all for a great year and THANK YOU to Sophie Conin & Sandesh Bhugaloo for putting together this sweet video that reflects on our journey.

We all have ideas & projects that we start on, and sometimes we even finish them and get that sense of accomplishment that feels so good. But what great things can happen if we really push ourselves beyond where we thought we already pushed ourselves? International touring and recording artist Jonathan Scales has garnered a loyal following of music lovers by pushing the steel drums into a musically adventurous realm of contemporary jazz, changing listener's perspectives of the traditional Caribbean instrument often stereotypically associated with sandy beaches and cruise ship vacations. Scales has released 5 albums and has performed in 14 countries across 4 continents with his progressive sound that Jazz Times calls "joyously inventive." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
